Saint Leontius of Caesarea († 337) was a bishop of Caesarea Mazaca in Cappadocia who attended the First Council of Nicaea in 325. He was childhood friends with Gregory the Illuminator; later in life, Leontius would consecrate Gregory to become the patriarch of the Armenians. The Eastern Orthodox Church describes him as an "angel of peace." His feast day is 13 January.
